From French Chamonix to Armenian Dilijan. Armenia to host the Third Armenian Summit of Minds in October

The Summit of Minds is a unique platform for an exchange of ideas, knowledge, and experience, the main goals of which are to present new ideas on the key issues, and establish reliable partner relations through direct discussions.

This prestigious international conference, traditionally held in the French city of Chamonix, was hosted in Dilijan, Armenia, in June 2019. For the first time in its history, the Summit was held outside Chamonix. An exceptional agreement on its organization was reached in September 2018, when the President of the Republic of Armenia Armen Sarkissian participated in the Summit of Minds as the key speaker.

The conference held in Dilijan was called the Armenian Summit of Minds and today, it has already become a unique Armenian brand.

Back in 2019, Chamonix expressed a desire to establish deeper friendly relations with Dilijan. Chamonix is ​​a classic example of how a small town can have such great success. Smaller than Dilijan, with a population of less than 10,000, Chamonix receives five million tourists a year, from skiing enthusiasts to participants of cultural events or conferences.

Both Chamonix and Dilijan have a wonderful nature, clean air, and an ecologically clean environment. With a clear vision of development, strategy, and program, Dilijan also has all the opportunities to become a tourist centre and a cultural, intellectual city. The friendship of Chamonix and Dilijan will bring not only thoughts and ideas to Armenia but also experience, business relations, and international partnership.

President Armen Sarkissian invited the participants of the Chamonix discussions to the Third Armenian Summit of Minds scheduled for October 23-24 in Dilijan, which is a unique opportunity to present Armenia's potential, develop new areas of cooperation and establish business ties.
